That's weird, could have sworn I'd replied to this already...
You'll be disappointed to know I deleted the shots of the blades of grass and empty space where the damselfly used to be...

Hmmmmmm.... The serial number on that DA35 looks suspiciously familiar...
Funny to think the first insect macros it's ever taken weren't by me!

I think Dan has discovered something about the life cycle of the damselfly that nobody had hitherto suspected.

Well that's very strange, because the original photo (the damselfly one) is 'stowe02.jpg', and is still online, but the one showing is 'stowe2.jpg'.
Let's try it again...
Perhaps I missed out the '0' in the original link and my server supplied the nearest match?

K-7, 35mm Macro, 1/500s, f/5.6, ISO200.
If I'd remembered to push the lens hood in, I'm sure I could have got nearer. This was using autofocus, which is unusual for me with macro. It did save me having to have my hand on the lens, which may have frightened the damselfly off.
